New elective process and its bizzareness

I absolutely fail to understand this so called "new elective process". The biggest problem that I have with this is it seems more complicated then our election process. Anyway the two step elective choice process seem absolutely bizzare because it just does not make sense.

The designers of this process might have tried this process so that they know the preference of people before they design the time-table but then if the preferences entered are the real ones then nobody needs two step process and if these are fake ones then the data is useless.

This whole problem could have been much easily solved by decided the list of electives couple of week earlier so that people have enough time in entering the elective choices and time table before the next quarter starts.

Anyway I am just happy that I don't have to go through with it but I can see trouble written all over it.
